Wow, the Return of the Revenge of Chris Wilson 2... Chris proposed that
in 1997 IIRC.
There's a case that we have all hit designing web pages, a case that made
all web+css designers stress and wish the CSS WG burn forever in hell:
width: expr(25% - 20px);
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
With my editor's implementor hat on, I can assure you that this is not
going to make my life harder, but simpler. That's going to make everyone's
life simpler. Oh, well, not everyone ;-)
